A Scientific Specialist.

San Antonio Express.
DR.. Petit, the noted specialist who
recently visited San Antonio in the
practice Of his profession, is doing an
immense business here. Among many
difficult surgical operations successfully
performed by him within the past few
days, there Is one at least that entities
him to special praise, namely-that In
which Mrs. A. NJ. Kelly, mother of q
prominent citizen OF Austin, was the
subject. This lady's sight was almost
lost, the right eye being totally blind,
and the other, through sympathy, being
steadily failing. She consulted the best
physicians, all of whom gave it as their
opinion that her only hope lay
in the removal of the diseased
organ, but at the same time they all de-
clined to perform the operation. She
visited DR.. Pettitt few days ago, and so
well did he accomplish the delicate and
dangerous task which the other doctors
refused to undertake, the lady has since
presented him with most valuable tes-
timonial, and every physician In the
city who has heard Of the operation
pronounces 1t grand scientific tri-
umph. The sightless eye was entirely
removed, and the other one was SO
treated that Mrs. Kelly is now in the
enjoyment of better sight than she has
experienced for ten yerrs. When it
comes to operating on the eye, whether
for the curing Of disease or the correo-
ton of deformities, DR.. Pettitt is one Of
the most skillful specialists in the south.

Him who governs our destinies brings

man who has no thanks to offer? Has
his lot been cast in rough places, and his

is this attributed to Only his own.
Next Thursday is a legal holiday, and

The cause Of it was the attempt Of the
local Bell company Whose officers all
lived in another city, TO exact rate per
message from the subscribers, instead of
fiat rate" The people resisted it., the
courts sustained the position that the
license was revokable at will, the Com
mon Council revoked it. The company
ignored this action, and, without permits
sion, erected poles in the streets and
strung additional wires but the courts
held that this was unlawful.
According to the message rate. house

The appearance of the McCaull Conf
que Opera Company in Won Suppe's
new opera "Bellman," at the Opera
House, Wilmington, on Saturday even
ing 10th inst. will be one of the chief
operate events ofthe season. The opera
is one Of the brightest that has been
given to the public in long time, and
the music is by far prettier and richer in
its melody than has heretofore heard in
comic opera. A leading critic of Phila-
delphia writes concerning the work given
by the same company at the Chestnut
Street Opera House: "'Bellman' made
an impression upon its auditors that was
unmistakable from the beginning. The
performance was a complete success from
every point Of view and is, moreover, of
that peculiar character which will unfold
new beauties with each rehearing. At
times the comedy elements skirts closely
the perilous edge of burlesque but it never
topples over. The music ranges over
broad fields or melody, and rises to the
inspiring nights of grand opera, yet there
is scarcely bar that may be called COM
mon-place Won Suppe has produced no
better score, and since 'Fatinitza' moth
ing so good. There is rhythmic bal
ance and a dramatic community about
'Bellman' that render the work doubly
interesting to the critic as well as to the
seeker for entertainment. Nothing is at
tempted that is not carried out to per-
fiction, and the changes in stage action
and musical motive are so adroitly
managed that the performance never
drags." The company is one of the
strongest that has eyer been heard in
this country in light opera. The cast
includes; Hubert WillSe, the baritone;
De Wolf Hopper, the inimitable come
dian, Harry Macdonough, JEFF De Angels,
Edwin Hoff, Herbert Cripps, Miss Marion
Monola, the charming Soprano; Laura
Joyce Bell, a fayorite with every light
opera patron; Miss Annie Meyers; the
popular and pretty little artistic; Josie
Knapp, Nina Rertini, Paulo Franka,
Grace Seavey.

What Manner of Men Ara They 2

The members of the Board of Public
Education in Wilmington, act more like
a number ofboys-and rough ones, too
than men. There is difficult questions
to be settled, and it takes men of judg-

There seems to be a natural tendency
among them to talk. They have mis-
taken their calling They ought to be
stump orators, -spread eagle fellows-or
lawyers After a meeting of quarrelling,
calling names, on Monday evening,
Prof. Graham was retained as Principal
